(Lanka-e-News- 28.Aug.2016, 11.30PM) It is with deep regret we bring to our viewers a report that owing to excessively inebriated condition of a Sri Lankan pilot, a storm of controversy erupted locally and internationally last week - a plane that was ready to fly to Frankfurt from Colombo was delayed for 15 long hours owing to this unfortunate scenario !
The pilot while he was making love with a ‘chick of a peahen’ the previous day had got drunk excessively. Ordinarily , a pilot who is to fly does not consume liquor on the previous day .
Though the pilot arrived as scheduled to take charge of the plane , he was truly under the influence of liquor and could not stand erect. The assistant pilot (who was God fearing ) apprised the German airport officials of this in the interests of the passengers and their safety.
The German police thereupon did a breathalyzer test on the pilot. Ordinarily , if the intoxication is 0.2 % or over , the German police do not allow such an individual to pilot a plane. As this controversial pilot’s intoxication level at that moment was 1.6 %, the German officials therefore decided that the pilot was not fit even to drive a vehicle let alone a plane.
Although this pilot is interdicted now , because of the gravity of his lapse , he is liable to have his international license cancelled forever , meaning that he will never ever be able to pilot an international passenger flight.
Sadly , the Pilots Guild however is leaving no stone unturned to suppress and downplay this incident to save the pilot. While everybody is angered over this incident and reluctant to come forward on behalf of this most irresponsible and reckless pilot who put the lives of the passengers in dire jeopardy , unsurprisingly it is only a buffoon like minister Arjuna Ranatunge who from the first hour of appointment of the government of good governance was indulging in corruption , frauds and malpractices , and best known for his worst political treacheries who had come forward to rescue this drunkard pilot.

He would have been another Captain Whitaker (FLIGHT) had he avoided the Breathalyzer test. Must have watched this movie and thought he too can be another Capt. Whitaker. Ha! Ha!
